Flying clubs with electrical outlets

       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
Hello

I moved recently to Mississauga, Ontario. I fly 90mm and 105mm EDF jets.

I am interested in joining a flying club, but because of the type of jets i fly, i need a club with available electrical outlets to charge LiPo batteries.

Does anyone know a club with this facility in mississauga ?

Thanks,

Raed

Burlington Bronte and Bayview fields.

Bronte has a battery system that's recharged by solar. Works really well, Bayview has electrical outlets and charging stations.

Most clubs dont. Members just bring their own generators.

Re: Flying clubs with electrical outlets
You should check out Bayview's runway too!
That along with our electrical charging stations make this an ideal field for E-Jets.
Looking forward to seeing you there.

I like flying out of Bronte, it's never really busy, and the position of the runway is better during the day. Bayview has a really nice facility, but the sun is in your face for some reason.

But i'm nit picking, both are awesome locations.

There is the morning crowd and then the after-work crowd. I like the early afternoon as things may be a little quieter. Later in the day the sun is an issue. Bring a good hat and sunglasses.
Although our club has the Bronte field I don't fly there as I like pavement for my jets.
